Man takes out ad to express anger with Time Warner Cable

Posted on June 1, 2011 | Comments Off

Most people I know who have Time Warner Cable tell me they hate them. Most have heard how god-awful their customer service is, especially when it comes to making and keeping appointments. But while most people have no recourse but to complain to some underpaid customer service rep, Eugene Mirman lived out many a fantasy by writing a letter comparing the cable company to Stalin and Jeffrey Dahmer — and then publishing it as a full-page ad in two newspapers (New York Press and in the Greenpoint Gazette). Here is that letter. Click image for larger view. It’s a victory for us small people. (via ABC News)

Helicopter seeds are pure evil

Posted on June 1, 2011 | 2 comments

Helicopter seeds are pure evil. They get in your gutters, rock gardens, grass, planters, etc and are a pain to clean up. If you don’t clean them up, small maple trees will start growing out of gutters, gardens, and plant boxes. Holy nightmare. Mother nature can be cruel. If you have a silver maple in your yard, you understand my pain. Can someone please invent something to combat this?

Evil has a face.

If I had a nickel...
